Rocky River ’

Yesterday I checked the community of Euclid Ohio. There were 683 homes on the market. Rocky River has 240 homes for sale. Lakewood has 376; Cleveland Heights has 666. You get the point. There are a lot of available homes in NE Ohio.

If you are selling your home you will be asking the same question your RealtorÂ® is askingâ€”what can I do to make my listing stand out, and not be the house in the back of the room waving itâ€™s chimney saying â€˜pick me, pick me!â€™

I decided to use myself as an example. I have quite a few buyers at the moment and spend time culling the listings to set up showings.

Here is what I automatically eliminate:

1. Homes with no photos

(In fact, even if they have the primary/exterior photo, unless itâ€™s unique, I skip it unless there are more.)

2. Homes with no room sizes and amenities listed

So it has four bedrooms. What are the sizes? Do they have wood floors, ceiling fans, carpet? If you donâ€™t list it, I say NEXT because there will be, say, 100 others that DO list it.

3. Descriptions

Many RealtorsÂ® and brokers give descriptions on REOs and short sale properties, no matter what the listing price. That is as it should be. And in this day and age, if you donâ€™t do that, then I can sayâ€¦NEXT.
